THE LONDON .JOURNALS. - - /DAILY .EXTRACTS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS, JVNIt 8, 1826. Timms.] It now appears—es : . indeed we had from the .first suspected would turn out to be the truth—that, there is no .compromise of parties or prineipleS in the county of Wataford‘with regard to this election, Mr. Power as well as the other two candidates coming decidedly to the poll. We fear, however, that the trial. about to take place between the Bamford family:and its ante, goniste will prove a source of much anger and exas peration, religious, political, and social, The . active Interference of the Catholicpriesthood in engaging the Bose ntry on the popular, side of the question, is a cir curnstanee perhaps unavoidable at such a moment, but greatly in one.respect to be deplored. Many of the unfortunate creatures who :are (1 , 1.14410 to vote from 408. freeholds' will, throngh this priestly agency, he driven to act iii 'tits teeth of landlords on whose power they, for the most part, together with their families, de-' vend; and when the crisis is fairly over, the vengeance to which their disobedient spirit may expose them isnot very likely:to be averted by time who now urge them to set it at defiance. This mode of canvassing an Irish tenantry is to the last degree selfish and barbarous . : tile servien (Mee executed into which they have been s tie dticed, the wretched victims of party will then he aban doned,. as no longer worth protecting or commiserat ing. Scotland feels no portion of the warmth 'or spirit whielr anitnates all the rest of the United Kingdom at the recurrence of 'a general election. Stich art event is not, in that self-satisfied region, an appeal to arty po pular, sentiment, .or to any redeeming principle of the constitution ; it is but a now registry of an old edict, a fresh triumph r)f monopoly .over national right. The most rotten of English or Irish boroughs exhibits no thing more close or unimprovable than the humbug of reresentation throughout the whole -of Scotland.— , "'Virtual' representation" is were in a state to which nothing can be compared for simple e A c e llo ne the two Councils under Buonaparte, orthe manner in which the interests of our former Colonies in North America were " represent t" in the British Prrrlia relent.

The approach Of the election proveS that Whatever be the fact in England, the infltience of the Catholics, and more especially of .the Catholic Priests, has in creased by Vag and rapid strides in Ireland. • Counties in which the Anti popery interest had hitherto undia puted-sway are .now contested vehemently. In Dublin, the Corporation o r Or ang e p ar t y have not been able to get to-popery candidate, CVO for iknlere etalking, horse.

His support is almost, wholly Catholic,' for even among the Protestanta airated liberal; he hi . not without opponents. Litu , , stick is in the same predicament as,Dublin. The Corporation cannot mustera candidate. In Waterford the power of the Priests is still more strongly shown. The Beresfbrd interest,. hitherto all powerful, is not merely threatened, but shaken, and can surviVe, it is said, only by a compromise, if not a coalition with the Duke of.

Upon the aim tinqualifie4 ease will, most probably, be demanded, and yet the queetions are al. most certainly such Al may, and must be, Tialified by rircumstances which the electors in genera cannot possibly anticipate. 'The questions relative to the condition of the Slaves in our West India Colonies, en d to t h e procee dings which Parliament will be urged to adopt in respect to theiri—are, p er h a ps, o f all others (not even excepting that of the Corn La, t:" " uP°ll.whieh the public feelings hav e b een l ately most strongly excited—and upon those questions it is almost certain that the popular candidate will hicalled upon fnr a deelaottion.

HOT! HOT!!-ALL HOT! !! Monsieur Chabert (the celebrated continental ialerrionider) tx hibited his power in withstanding the operation of the fiery ele 'went, at White Conduit Gardens, yesteriley evening. In the first instance, he refreshed himself with s hearty meal of phos phorus, which was,' at his own request, supplied to him very liberally, by several of his visitors, who were previously nose wanted with him. He washed down this infernal fare with solutions of arsenic end oxalic acid, thus throwing into the hack-ground the long-established fame of Mitliridatee. . Ile next swallowed, with great you?, weevil spoonful of boiling oil, and, as a dessert to this delicate repast, helped himself with his naked hand to a considerable quantity of molten lead.. There are, we know, preperations which so indurate the cuticle as to render it insensible to the beat either of boiling oil or of melting lead; and the fetal qualities of certain poisons may be destroyed, if the metlititn through which they are imbibed, as we suppose to he the case here, is a strong alkali. We cannot, however, 'guess in what manner Monsieur Chabert effected this neutralization ; and it is but fair to state, that the exhibitor offered to swallow Prussia acid, perhaps the most:powerful of known poisons, the effect of which is instantaneous, if any good-natured person could furnish him with a quantity of it. During the period when thie part'ofthe entertaipment (if.entertainment it could be called) was going on, en oven, Shout six feet by seven, was heated.. For an hour and a quarter large quantities of faggots were bUrned in it, .Until at length it was hot enough for the hod chamber, of his Sa tinie Majesty. "0 ! for a muse of** I" to describe, whet fol lowed. Mona. Chabert, who teems to be a piece of living asbes tos, 'entered,this stove, arstoropenied by a rump-steak and a leg of when the beat was at about 220. He remained there, in the first intent*, for ten minutes, till the steak was properly done,, conversing' all the time with the compan.y, through a ; tin :tube, placed in an, orifice formed in the sheet-iron door of the oven. Having swallowed a cup of tea, and having,seen that the company had done justice to the meat he had already cooked, he returned to hie fiery den, and continued there Argil the lamb was properly done. This joint was devoured with ouch , avidity by the spectators, as Isads us to believe that, had M. Chabert himeelf been sufficiently baked, they would have proceeded to a :Caribbean banquet. Many experiments, as to the emelt to. which the human frame could bear beat, wlttiont the ih. i rtructim i of the vital powers, have been tried, from time to time ; but, so far as we recollect, M. Chabert's fire-resisting qualities are greater than time professed by the individuals who, before him, have under gone this species of ordeal. It was,announced some time ago,' in one of the French Journals, that experiments had been tried with It female, whose fire-standing qualities had excited greafastonish wont. She, it appears, was placed in a heated oven, into which live dogs, cats, and rabbits, were conveyed. The poor animals died,- in -a state of coneulsion, almost immediately, whilst the fire-queen bore the , beat without complaining. In that instance, howtwer, ; the beak of the oven was, not so great as.that which M. Cbebert encountered. If M. Chabert will attach, Himself f.u.any of the insutente ,comPanies, he will, we have:no . doubt, "save more tench ent'of the fire" than ever NimMini'Ve'd did : but if he should not like that employment, old Cobbett, of bone-grub binecnotorlety,,, clotilit#,,ensage, bins for the purpose of tintet 4 .4l4.lo l lolll in ,tits alt of, ittri•beatilig prior to Ws "gridiron 1 exhibition." SHOCKING MURDER. Yesterday afternoon, it four o'clock, * coroner's inquest was held at the sign of the Black Howie, in Queen-street, Seivii:DiAis, Were Mr: Prtittuo, the coronet for the county of Middle es, on she body of Hannah Browne, an intiint only three years of age, who came by her death in the following dreadful man ner :.-- . .

I knew the de ceased very , well ; alut.was the' illegitimate .chilli of Charles lircrwne, who keeps a coal-shed in the lower part of the house. She wotild have been, as I understood, three years of age next October. I saw the child last; 'as well as I tecolliet, on Tues day night; hut I am sure I Saw 'her on Wedneiday (yesterday) morning, in perfect health.' She' was a very fine healthy child.. About 10 minutes alter nine o'clock tide morning, I was in my own. worksimp, which adjoins. the shop of Charles Browne. There is only a• thin partition between,and an keer almost every xvoill spoken in Brownen amp. ieard lire. Aim Browne, the wife of Choler Browne, but not the mother of the deceased, coming tiown'atairs, from the first floor which . they (*copied ; she was calling out. to her husband, " Ch a rl es , I hi ve d one it; have done it,' I then opened my door, 'which looks into, th e plumage, end saw Mrs. Browne, with her hands covered with blood, and 'calling out, as before, " I hair: done it, I bait dons it," Her husband asked her what she had done, had she cut her Anger but she made no other reply than, " 1 have don. it, 1 have done it." I they ran up stairs, as did her husband also,, sadly, entered nearly at the amnia time a small apartinent ors the first door, where the deceased child was in the habit of Bleeping ing in a little bed by itself. Charles Browne, the father, exclaimed - to me, " Oh, Price! look' at my child! look at my baby !" I then saw the deceased lying oft the floor by the aide 'of the bed, and close by a wooden box, with its head almost severed from its body, and one of its little fingers nearly cut of; . and are; other desperate wound, like a stab, near the collar-bone in the lower part of the child's neck. I then saw Owlet, Browne go to a sort of cistern, which was in the room for wealung, and :take out of it a large carving-knife stained all over with blood ; by this time Mrs. Browne came up stairs and entered the spart ,tnent, still calling out "1 hate done it." The husband thing round her neck, and.. they both sunk upon a sofa Mlle room; when be kissed her several times, at the same time extlaitning, s ' Oh, Anne, why slid you do. it ? why did you, kill my child ?" but she ;mole nofurther than that she bad gone it. The floo4 and the 'citild'e" hed-gown and hotly, were saturated and covered with blood. By this time one of the beadle* of the parieb,.who wits sent for, arrived, and, took the woman, Mrs. Browne, away with him to the parish workhouse in custody. This ,witneariin continuation, said, that, - the father of the child is about. 26 years of age,' anti his wife, Anne .

About eighteen months ago Mrs. Browne persuaded him to bring the child home, rather. then be payipg the items!; for its support.

As the case stood, however, is appeared to be a foul murder. The woman gave a systematic detail of the manner in which she perpetrated• the act,' and although she'was immediately after in a state of agitation, and what being on earth must not, after such :a deed ? yet she anon returned to her habitual calmness. It would, however, be for the jury to consider the case, and return their verdict. • ' • • • The Jury consulted for a few minutes, and returned a verdict of " Wilful murder against Ann Browne," and the Coroner is sued his warrant *for her committal to Ncwgate. On the Ilith and 17th of May, the ancient arid splendid city of:Grenida, in the South of.

The horrible noise with which it was accompanied, and the agitation of every edifice, drove the inhabitants fdr -safety id 'the •squares and public walks, which presented 'a most singular spectacle when day-light exposed the situation and dresses; .

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.: • atiff,Dli A U.. --A person, whose name did not transpire, apt; plied to he sworn to an aff►davit to the.effect that his ,wife was not a spinster, hut a widow, at the time he married her. Afr, Alderman J. 3. SMITH inquired what was the object tit this Affidavii. The applicant said that his wife was the daughter of a freemen of ltialdon," and by marrying her he had acquired a rightly 'the freedom of the borough, and to vote for the representatives in Parliament. Upon applying for a certificate of the manila, however, he had discovered : an unfortnnate mistake in deeciibirig theitaie Of the she being entered in the register book u a spinster instead of s, widow. The Alderman thought that, making due allowance, for tits, perturbation of mind at Cush an intersating moment; it wis sin,. gider that the applicant did not discover sn glaring a mistake when it teed and signed the register; and he asked *hat dse wai to be tarn 'of the affidavit?

Mv. l!ayne, the clerk, Said he could sesreely credits this. The minister Would inear a serious responsibility if he were to act on the solitary affidavit of an interested pereOn. The applicant assured the magistrate such alterations were fre quently made. The Alderinan said, if inch were the fact, it was a most hh gerous and reprehensible radio. Mr. Payne remarked, that altering spinster into widow, and vice versa, might have the effect of bastardising legitimate chil dren, or legitimating natural children ; and a party making a voluntary oath of this description, it not being made in a judicial proceeding, could not be indicted for perjury, however Wee the affidavit might be. The Alderman said he had always a dislike to voluntary affi davits, and he declined permitting to be sworn the one nOw . ten. tiered.

The office, bench, and all, was soon filled ; but, As will be seen In the sequel, curiosity was soon dissoppeinted, and it will probably he admitted on all salsa, that a more farcical termination to a legal inquiry, so solemnly commenced, has seldom been wit nessed. Soon,after half-tiast seven, Mr. SliNsitimr. desired that Col lina's ease should be called on, andithe defeltdant'var brought in From a private TOM. Mr. Mrwitturl:then.asked Mr..

Mr. MINSHULL—III Mr. Well here? Call him. He is more likely to know than Mr. Adolphus whether or not the witnesses are here.
